Bill Summary

For legislation relative to solar-powered mobility networks. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate solar-powered mobility networks in Massachusetts to encourage a shift from an oil-powered to a sustainable economy. It grants non-exclusive access to rights-of-way for privately-funded and operated networks that exceed efficiency and safety standards, and produce significant renewable energy. The executive office is required to promulgate regulations for these networks, including design, safety, and environmental approval criteria, as well as limiting taxes and fees to 5% of gross revenues, which would be paid to the rights-of-way holders.
